SCHnoLHoUsE ACCIDENr.-W ednes-
day afternoon the ceiling in the HALEY
schoolhouse fell At the time school
was in session and the room full of
scholars. Prof. Miner saw what was
coming and called to the scholars to
drop on the floor under and beside
the desks. This most of them did
thus saving their lives, the entire
ceiling of the room dropping and
resting upon the desks. Prof. Miner
and some Of the pupils who did not
get down soon enough received slight
bruises. Further than this no injury
was sustained. This happened in the
old wooden building, the new brick
schoolhouse not being quite ready fo
occupancy. No other cause can b,
given for the accident than that of
poorly constructed building. Prob
ably the building was put up by con
tract and had been sighted in con
struotion. At any rate it as
deathtrap for whoever might be in
when the structure could not hold to
gether any longer. Should not tn

erATEsMAN: Last Saturday night
when members of Co. G.. 4th Infantry
had retired for the night one of the
boys, Harry Munson, got up, broke
open the gunrack and took therefrom
IA gun and loaded it and started down
to town. During the act of loading
he threatened to shoot any of the com
pany who offered any resistance. 1t
is strictly against orders for any mem
Der of the company to take gun out
OF the rack except when going upon
duty. When he left the room the Or
derby Sergeant started after the SOL
der and when crossing the parade
ground he fired shot at the ORDERLY.
The orderly thereupon returned to
quarters and ordered out a file Of four
soldiers, and they, with the orderly,
started toward the city in pursuit.
Overtaking him on Main street he was
ordered to halt, but instead of SO do,
ing he started on the run. Arriving
at the Pony Saloon he made break
tor the door, and when just in act Of
entering, with the spring doors both
open one of the guards fired at the
fleeing soldier, the ball passing
through the top Of his shoulder, the
ball ranging upward and into his necl
and came out in the cheek alongsid,
his nose. This brought him to stand
still and he was captured and return
ed to the barracks, and after hi
wounds were dressed, which are no
serious, he was chained to bed il
the guardhouse.

In speaking of the ways ana means for
increasing the revenue Of the Territory to
meet the necessary expenses, the Hon
Joseph Perrault Territorial treasurer in
his recent report, suggests that "In Wash

OF two per cent upon their gross earnings,
maki-g revenue for that Territory OF
about $4,000 per annum The law works
splendidly in Washington Territory, and
there is no good reason why it would not

Secretary Bayard has completed and
will send to the Senate SION draft
of the treaty with China which it is hoped
will meet all the difficulties of the Chinese
immi grafton question. The treaty Is the
result of long and frequent conferences
with Chinese minister who has been in
constant cable communication with his
Government. The treaty provides that
the importation of Chinese coolies into
this country shall be stopped by m ans
and precautions to be adopted by both
Governments with equal care. The treaty
is reciprocal and NJ American labprers

CALDWELL TRIBUNE: The follow
ing are the particulars of the drown
ing we mentioned last week: Mr..
Smith was drowned in the Malheur
river about one half mile below the
junction of north and south forks at
1:30 P. NJ, Jan. 4th. In attempting
to ford the river on horseback at this
point he rode into hole, was thrown
from, and doubtless hurt by the ami
NAL in the struggle. Some of his
men were close by and hearing faint
cries for assistance ran to the stream,
but too late. No one saw him enter
the stream and the manner of his
drowning is chi y conjecture. We
understand he leaves wife and child
in Iowa, and the body was sent there
for burial. -. The Idaho Legislature
is playing havoc with the salaries of
the county officers, and there is much
talk of some of them resigning. We
understand, however, that they are
ooino to contest the authority of the
Legislature to tamper with the fees
and salaries after the election. The
LEGISLATURE can fix certain restrictions
ON the income of the various offices
to lake effect the next election, but
there is doubts of their ability to dc
50 now. The Union Pacific has
entered into an agreement with the
New York Ditch Company guaran,
teeing certain low rates to the coast
and Omaha, for the next ten years
j., from all points on the Oregon Short
/ Line, for all the products produced
on the 100000 acres of land re
claimed by this mammoth canal
, These rates, we suppose, will also ap
ply to the lands covered by otheI
bitches.
